Bonne St-Jean en retard! It was real disappointing to miss all the festivities by being all the way out in Japan, but French was spoken on that day!
To answer slimpiggy, the laws do not impair the availability of English. With the Internet so widely available, anyone could find resources in English. Furthermore, until more movies and shows are translated in Quebec, instead of France (where the jargon is MUCH different than ours), then francophones (like myself) will continue to watch the English versions instead, thereby increasing their English skills.
Also, it all depends on location. Someone living in Vancouver or Calgary will not have a lot of contact with francophones, much like people living in Quebec City or Saguenay Lac-St-Jean won't hear much English on a day-to-day business. Therefore, it's up to each individual to determine his/her needs. If you want access to more jobs, learn both French and English. It's that simple. Hell, learn other languages, too! The more skills you have, the better off you'll be.
